Jerry West (1938-2024) was an American basketball legend whose remarkable career as a player and executive made him one of the most influential figures in NBA history. A 14-time NBA All-Star with the Los Angeles Lakers, West won an NBA championship in 1972 and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Nicknamed "Mr. Clutch," his silhouette famously served as the inspiration for the NBA's iconic logo, earning him the enduring nickname "The Logo." Following his playing career, West became a highly successful executive and helped build championship teams with the Lakers and Golden State Warriors.
